Answer 2

Answer:

Six main uses of petroleum are as follows: (i) Transportation (ii) Industrial power (iii) Heating and lighting (iv) Lubricants (v) Petro-chemical industry (vi) Use of by-products.

Explanation:

Transportation:

The entire transport system of the world depends upon petroleum. It has revolutionized the entire transport system be it road, rail, water or air transport. Petrol and diesel are the main sources of energy for all types of modern transport vehicles.

(ii) Industrial power:

Oil is the major source of industrial power. Diesel and gasoline are used in gas turbines to produce electricity.

(iii) Heating and lighting:

Heavier oils are used in central heating plants for shops, offices as well as homes. Oil is also used to produce electricity for industrial and domestic use. The lighter grades of oil such as ‘kerosene’ are still used for domestic purposes.

(iv) Lubricants:

Lubricants are very useful for all types of machines especially for the machines used in transport and industries.

All types of lubricants and greases are produced from petroleum. Vehicles of all kinds and the vast range of sophisticated machinery in use in factories and offices rely on lubri­cants and would grind to standstill if they were not available.

(v) Petro-chemical industry:

Both petro-chemical and chemical industries use petroleum by-products as raw material. Petro-products are used to produce: chemical fertiliser, synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber, nylon, plastics, pesti­cides and insecticides, perfumes, dyes, paints, carbon black and sulphur, etc.

(vi) Use of by-products:

The crude oil is a mixture of carbon, hydrogen, impurities and few other components. The refining process separates various fractions of hydrocarbons and several by-products have been produced.

The most important products and by-products are: petrol, paraffin, diesel, gas oil, and petro-chemical by-products – plastic, detergents, aviation gasoline, neptha, mobil, grease, vaseline, wax, butadine, asphalt, etc. In fact, nowadays thousands of products are produced by petro-chemical combinations.
